Symbian Announces the New N95 for North America

by Darla

San Francisco, USA – September 10, 2007 –
Symbian Limited today welcomes the launch of the new North American
optimized Nokia N95 multimedia computer based on S60 and Symbian OS™.

This
new Nokia N95 offers North American 3G/HSDPA/UMTS compatibility while
retaining all the award-winning functionality of the existing Nokia
N95. In addition, a number of new product upgrades have been added
including: assisted GPS (A-GPS) for faster navigational fixes, 124MB of
RAM to complement the included 1GB microSD memory card and the 160MB
internal memory, and a higher capacity battery for extended operating
time.

The Nokia N95 is expected to start
shipping in September to a growing number of independent retailers in
major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco,
as well as the Nokia Flagship Stores in New York and Chicago.

The Nokia N95 will also be available from Nokia’s online store (www.nseries.com) and multiple online retailers with an estimated retail price of $699.

I wonder if Nokia will give me a $100 store credit for being an early adopter of the N95. Oh well, at least the pain is diminished a bit by the lack of 3g support for t-mobile (my carrier). But more operating RAM would sure be sweet.
